Hi Emmett01

I had a lazy eye from birth that was corrected with surgery before I was two. I have never had any further problems or troubles with it. Interestingly the only thing noticeable is the small scars from the inscisions that were made on both eye balls. Apparently when I'm very tired one eye tends to be a little imbalanced!

But, I digress. When I had my class 1 issue about 3 years ago the eye specialist discovered I had trouble with those spooky 3D images. To me the 3D effect is faint or non-existant. I was told that was because my eyes were not quite pointing in the same direction (not visible to the human eye (no pun intended!)). The specialist did not appear concerned for me but he had to make a mention of it on my report to the AMA. It was a tense wait to see if the CAA had anything to say to me, but no, the medical came through without fail!

It would be interesting to hear of any other cases?

Regards
